KaIadin he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 What was the most satisfying chapter/part in either WoK or WoR that you absolutely loved? Please tell which chapter/page it is if you know. 2
KaIadin he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 Also, on a side topic, I'm now a spearman yay! 1
Stormgate he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Please don't double post. My favorite part is when Amaram got his comeuppance. Sadeas getting his was secondary, since Amaram was much worse, in terms of actual actions. I can't wait for Kaladin's confrontation with his local highlord. He will probably be under attack by Voidbringers, Kaladin will come in, Syl blazing, and Mr. I-can't-remember-his-name-but-he's-more-petty-than-evil will basically go "Oh... Storms. I'm so dead" and then Kaladin will just walk away, or something.

Honestly, for my favorite moment... I think it was the Honor Chasm scene, from beggining to end. The despair Kaladin is trapped in, the memories of his father, and how Syl saves him with her innocence... 1
kaellok he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I choose to disregard your question, and replace it with one of my own! "What was the most emotional/satisfying part of WoK/WoR?" When Shallan and Hoid meet for the very first time, at the fair thing when she was a child. Few things move me to tears. This scene has a 100% success ratio (not sobbing, not necessarily crying; but definitely tears leaking out of my eyes and running down my face). Just thinking of it can cause me to choke up. It strikes incredibly close to home. (Then again, so much of WoR Shallan does for me. But I was shocked when I was still tearing up at the second reading. And the third. And fourth. It's not like I forgot anything; hell, there wasn't more than a day in between when I read that scene alone the 3rd and 4th time. And it was still affecting me just like the first time.) 1
Slaybalj Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Shallan confronting Jasnah at the end of way of kings. ( chapter 70)
FormlessFox he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 When Kaladin gets Syl back “Shouting. Kaladin heard it now, as if it were closer. He is mine! a feminine voice said. I claim him" Something about that really resonated with me. Also the scene where Kaladin and Shallan return and Dalinar asks him "Is it you i have been searching for all along?" Then Kal replies "No, maybe once but noy anymore 3
Guest keeper of the light Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 All scenes when Kaladin or Shallan learns how to be a Surgebinder. Every new information about the magic systems, about the past, about Radiants, about Heralds, about Cosmere. I really love information I choose to disregard your question, and replace it with one of my own! "What was the most emotional/satisfying part of WoK/WoR?" Well, I think most emotional part was when Kaladin remembers how Tien died. That scene really got me...
LordSnuggleBeardIV Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 When Adolin and Kaladin go tag team in the arena against 3 shard bearers , I read that bit like 3 times it was so bad chull. 3
Stormgate he/him Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Completely random, does anyone else actually type chull instead of letting the swear filter catch it?
natc Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Bad[chull] actually bypassed the filter last I tried (as in, without the space. Separate them and it catches it), but people say it anyway. So yes. Edited December 25, 2015 by natc 1
IndigoAjah he/him Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Kaladin giving Rlain a spear. So little, so simple, but so perfect. Many others as well, though I loved the symbolism of Dalinar giving up his blade in an exact opposite of what Amaram did to Kaladin. Was possibly the only thing to allow Kaladin any faith at all in any Lighteyes 5
Iarwainiel I she/her Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Since FormlessFox claimed the one that came to my mind first, here are some more. Page #s are from the hardback editions. Kaladin saying the 2nd oath, WoK pg. 926 Navani writing the glyphs on the ground, WoK pg. 948 "Dalinar ran the entire way." WoR pg. 884 "Not you, son." WoR pg. 931 "Can you teach me?" WoR pg. 966 and also "When you came, the shadows went away." WoR pg. 967 Great topic! 2
Vander Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 For me, it was contextual as well as just pure satisfaction: When Szeth woke up after fighting Kaladin. That entire sequence was probably my favorite in the entire book, if only because something kinda-maybe-hopefully-probably-not GOOD finally happened to Szeth. 1
The Sovereign Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) "Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do." Also as IndigoAjah said, excellent scene. "Bridge four doesn't have slaves." Edited December 29, 2015 by Iron Eyes 3
Stormgate he/him Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Iron Eyes, I think your part is awesome, and find it slightly ironic that you are a seer.
galendo Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 For me it was the end of the Bridge Four sequence in WoK: everything from when Bridge Four decided to give up their freedom to charge the plateau into almost certain death to Dalinar deciding to lead his men in an all but hopeless charge, despite "knowing" that the bridge will have been tossed into the chasm long before they get there, finally culminating in Dalinar reaching the bridgehead and finding the bridge still miraculously there. Best scene in the books so far, IMHO, and hard to imagine it being topped. 2
The Honor Spren she/her Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) When Shallan and Kaladin finally meet each other. When Kaladin saves Dalinar. When Adolin asks Shallan out, two minutes after meeting her. When Wit tells Kaladin a story for the first time. That's just a thing for me. I love it when main characters meet. Edited December 30, 2015 by The Honor Spren 4
IndigoAjah he/him Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I would pay at least a pound for a Sanderson written chapter that is just the Adolin and Kaladin vs 4 shards fight from the crowd's perspective 1
Kaidenbo he/him Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I really loved finding out Jasnah was alive at the end of WoR. I was heartbroken when she "died" at the beginning of the book and then literally cheered when we find out she's still alive. 3
Stormgate he/him Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I like when Kaladin is about to commit suicide, and he is stopped by Syl bringing him poison leaves.
natc Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Someone brings you poison while you contemplate suicide and actually successfully persuaded you against it. Kal and Syl logic. 3
DreamEternal Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Someone brings you poison while you contemplate suicide and actually successfully persuaded you against it. Kal and Syl logic. The best kind of logic
Kaidenbo he/him Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Yeah I loved that Kal & Syl scene. Especially when Syl mentions that she almost lost herself trying to get the leaves to bring to him. It's so sweet and adorable 1
Stormgate he/him Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 She almost died bringing him poison...never realizing what it was.
